Whether you’re a Christian or not, you must have heard of life after death experiences. It could be someone you know or something you saw in a movie or television.

I’ve heard many stories and I even read books about it. As a Christian, I cannot help but believe that there is life after this life. There has to be. Christ spoke of it many times.

The very thing that I like about those stories is the emotion that these people experience at the time. They feel peace, they feel love, happiness. But most of all, they feel the presence of God.

I saw this clip on NBC’s Today Show about a scientific study on Life After Death. A book called, “Evidence of the After Life” written by Dr. Jeffrey Long. And with him was one of the 1300 subjects is Mary Jo who stated her story. What caught me was what she believe God said to her when she reached heaven. She resisted and wanted to stay because of the love and the peace that she felt. God told her that she couldn’t stay and when she asked why, God said, “Have you ever loved anyone on earth with the way that you have been loved here?”

That struck me. Because somehow, I felt that it is the real measure of God’s yard stick on how we can enter heaven. Like what I’ve always said, I only follow one commandment. That commandment is to “Love God with all my heart, with all my mind and with all my soul…and my neighbor as myself.”

That in itself is the most difficult of all. I am too selfish to love my neighbor as myself. But Christ wants me to do that. I strive everyday to follow His will and I fail constantly. Yet, if you sum it all up – He forgives me constantly as well.
